"Kid…"Xiao Lin rubbed his forehead helplessly.
This brat had only been gone for a year, yet he'd already flirted around and found several women.
"I know, I know. You just focus on cultivation. Strive to reach the Dou Zun realm as soon as possible. The Zu Zu said during the clan elder meeting that once you reach Dou Zun, he will let you officially enter the true stage of tempering."
Xiao Lin waved his hand helplessly.
"I'll take my leave first."
With that, he followed the Golden Twelve Saints and disappeared into the folds of space.
"Xiao Lin, you truly have a fine grandson."
Once they had flown far away, the old man at the front squinted and smiled at Xiao Lin.
"Yes, Xiao Lin, you really do have a fine grandson."The other members of the Golden Twelve Saints also looked at Xiao Lin with envy.
A sixteen-year-old Three-Star Dou Zong with such terrifying soul strength, and most importantly, personally nurtured by the Zu Zu… Why didn't they have such a grandson?
Honestly, if they had the same fortune, becoming Xiao Lin's grandson wouldn't even be unacceptable.
"Ai, just a mischievous brat, nothing more. No need to mind it so much."
Xiao Lin waved his hand modestly, though the grin on his face was practically stretching to his ears.
Seeing his smug expression, a group of Dou Shengs couldn't help teasing him.
"Calling His Highness the Emperor's Son a 'mischievous brat'? Old man, I think you're getting bold."
After a few jokes, Xiao Lin stopped smiling and said, "You brothers go back first. I'm heading to the nearby Jia Ma Empire to visit an old acquaintance."
"That works. Hard to get out once — have some fun. We'll also find a place to loosen our bones."
The remaining eleven Dou Sheng nodded and vanished, leaving Xiao Lin alone flying toward the direction of Jia Ma City.
—
Far away, in an ancient city, Xiao Yan was carefully extracting all the blood from the head of the Zi Tian Mo Mang.
He had insulted ninth-rank magical beasts earlier, saying they weren't even as good as pigs and dogs to the Xiao Clan — but as an alchemist, he absolutely understood a ninth-rank magical beast was packed with treasures.
Even a single drop of essence blood was priceless.
The Zi Tian Mo Mang's body was enormous; just its head was nearly a hundred zhang in diameter.
Xiao Yan spent the entire night sorting through this massive snake head.
Before him hovered a blood sphere nearly ten zhang wide, condensed in the air. The energy inside was terrifying, making Yue Mei and the others' eyes burn with desire.
Essence blood from a Dou Sheng-level snake-type magical beast was overwhelmingly tempting for them.
Xiao Yan first stored most of the blood sphere into his spatial ring, leaving only a head-sized portion floating before him.
Then he opened his mouth and spat out raging flame.
Under his control, the Yin-Yang Sheng Ling Huo surged out as a sea of fire, slowly roasting and refining the condensed blood sphere.
But the blood of a ninth-rank magical beast was extremely difficult to refine. Even though Xiao Yan's Yin-Yang Sheng Ling Huo ranked within the top ten on the Heavenly Flame List, it was still strenuous.
Of course, part of this was due to his own cultivation level. If he were already a Dou Zun, refining this blood sphere would be far easier.
The heavenly flame kept drilling through the blood sphere, roasting it. Its volume slowly shrank. But that wasn't enough. Xiao Yan flicked his fingers, and several herbs used to purify the violent nature of beast blood appeared.
One hand continued refining the blood, while the other incinerated the herbs. After a while, several crystalline droplets of medicinal essence fused into the blood sphere under his control.
"Szzzz—"As the crystalline medicine entered, thin white smoke drifted out of the blood. The smoke contained terrifyingly violent properties and even traces of vicious killing intent.
Thankfully, Xiao Yan's cultivation was high enough that the remnant malice posed no threat.
By the time night fell again, the original head-sized blood sphere had shrunk to the size of a fist, crystal-clear like a gemstone.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan finally showed a satisfied expression.
At this stage, the blood was already close to the level of the Zi Tian Mo Mang's essence blood.
Though not the absolute purest, it was enough to drive countless snake-type magical beasts insane.
Xiao Yan flicked his fingers again. Three soybean-sized drops of essence blood shot toward Yue Mei and the other two.
"Consume it. It will benefit you greatly," Xiao Yan said with a smile.
He didn't need to explain — the moment the essence blood approached them, Yue Mei and the others already felt that this might very well be the opportunity for a breakthrough.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao Yan."A grateful look appeared on Yue Mei's face, though for some reason, her eyes also carried a strange heat.
"No need for thanks."
Feeling her burning gaze, Xiao Yan coughed lightly.
This woman really lived up to her clan leader's name… but he liked it. Heh heh.
Though his mind wandered, he didn't make a move.
The Emperor's Son must uphold his sense of ceremony. To conquer the snake-people tribe, he had to start with conquering the Queen.
Feeling his depleted energy, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged to recover quietly.
At midnight, the Wenwu Two Saints were meditating nearby. Xiao Yan also closed his eyes to restore himself. Now that he had obtained the Wan Shou Ling Huo and met the Queen, his next step was to locate the Qinglian Dixin Huo.
And besides that, there was still that map-selling old man and the girl with Bi Yan San Hua Tong waiting for him.
Just as he pondered, Xiao Yan suddenly sensed an aura quietly approaching.
Opening his eyes, he saw Yue Mei staring at him, her gaze still burning.
"Lord Xiao Yan… do you require Yue Mei to serve you?"Yue Mei bit her red lip lightly. Her curvaceous, fiery figure matched with that seductive snake tail made her charm nearly equal to Ya Fei.
Her wheat-colored skin carried an alluring primal wildness.
"How bold — daring to seduce this young master!" Xiao Yan grumbled inwardly, though he wore a faint smile.
"Not for now. I have things to do tomorrow. After you refine that essence blood, return to the snake-people tribe."
Hearing his rejection, Yue Mei looked slightly disappointed, bowed, and left.
But when she returned to her group, she found Hua She'er staring at her coldly.
"You shameless vixen — how dare you try to seduce Lord Xiao Yan." Hua She'er said icily.
"Seduce? Zu Shi already promised us two as part of the Queen's dowry to Lord Xiao Yan. I'm merely fulfilling my obligation early."
Yue Mei pouted.
"Fulfill your obligation? Since you know you're part of the dowry, you should understand order and seniority."
"The Queen hasn't even shared a room with Lord Xiao Yan, yet you want to steal the first turn?"
Hua She'er sneered. "Seems you don't put the Queen in your eyes anymore."
"You—!" Yue Mei flushed with anger, but before she could retort, the old crone beside them spoke.
"Yue Mei… you were indeed in the wrong this time."
